Give Your Teen Practical Business Skills They Can Actually Use

The Entrepreneur Fast-Track Guide is a straightforward, beginner-friendly entrepreneurship workbook created to help young people ages 12–18 explore what it takes to turn an idea into a real business.

Rather than simply teaching business vocabulary, this guide walks students through the process of thinking like an entrepreneur and creating their own basic business plan.

Students are encouraged to identify their strengths, choose a realistic business idea, determine whether they are selling a product or service, think about their target customer, understand basic pricing, explore business structures, plan their marketing, calculate startup costs, and prepare for a future launch.
